Growth Hormone Secretion Normalization

Meaning

Growth hormone secretion normalization describes the clinical and physiological objective of restoring the pulsatile, age-appropriate release pattern of somatotropin, or growth hormone (GH), from the anterior pituitary gland. Achieving this normalization is critical for optimizing numerous downstream anabolic and metabolic functions, including lean body mass maintenance, bone density, and efficient fat metabolism. It represents a state of robust pituitary function and balanced neuroendocrine control.
